Commanders in Evaluation Mode After Disastrous Season
Full Transcript
The Washington Commanders are officially in evaluation mode following a disastrous 3-10 season, marked by an eight-game losing streak. As they enter the final month of the season, the focus shifts to assessing player performances and determining which individuals will remain with the team moving forward.
According to S Rag, the upcoming matchups against division rivals, including the New York Giants, will not only test the team's resolve but also allow management to identify competitors and professionals among the roster.
This evaluation comes after a humiliating 0-31 shutout loss to the Minnesota Vikings, which underscored the team's dysfunction on both offense and defense. Despite injuries, issues of cohesion and discipline have plagued the Commanders, prompting General Manager Adam Peters to consider significant roster changes.
Hogs Haven highlights that approximately 30% of fans still express confidence in the team's long-term direction, but many are frustrated with the current performance. With upcoming games against the Giants, Eagles, and Cowboys, the Commanders must demonstrate fight and professionalism as they look to salvage pride and potentially position themselves for a higher pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, where they could select before the Giants, depending on final records and strength of schedule.
